I slept with it, simply slept, nothing extrodinart happened, didn't even dream.

Aquarelle, and loots of water 😄

At first i was at a loss, if i had used chewing gum and such, the pages would stick together. Thus i decided to go to a toy store and by stickers. It's been years, and quite a few of those passing by gave me an odd looke while i stood in the store, trying to decide on what stickets to buy.😊 So from now on, whenever i send a postcard or give a wrapped gift, there is going to be stickers, looots of stickers 😀

Page for negative thoughts -i think, originally i did write something inside those though bubbles. The reason is that to me, saying it out loud or actually writing those thoughts means i aknowledge them, which i refuse to. In the same way acting on negative emotions like anger, actually just makes you more angry. "letting it out" is just a joke, phsycology research has shown it only makes it worse. "getting it out" is not always the best action to take, especially if it's about things we have no control over, like regretting past actions. Regret doesn't help at all, what does help is getting up to take action so that it does not repeat!

I'm getting into it again, the creativity i've been lacking because students are seriously overworked the last school year😩 Finally i feel like me again, the real me, with ideas and dreams and Fun! 😊

"Draw lines with your pen or pencil. Lick your finger and smear the lines" This is by far the most disgusting page i've done yet, and apparently my markers don't taste very good 😐.... Also my DNA is on it (and the DNA of anyone i shared glasses with in the last couple of years)!! Nooooo!! 😲

"Fun, that's my center", the opposite side is supposed to say that... I just nees to come up with a cool way to write it... soon i'll be finishing school 😆 so i'm trying to finish some more pages between my exams 😅

"We're all Stories in the end Just make it a Good one" Preparing quotes for Wreck this journal and drawing aquarel style with normal pens.

I hereby baptize this page to "Epileptic Seizure". This was a fun page, and it’s colourful alright…. I started of from the inner “colour boom” and only had orange stripes, then figured I should write something,that escalated I gurss. I did hide some secret messages there though (in between the repeated words) 😋

The book said it's open to interpretation, so i painted fat and thin lines, to make a piano keys ☺ Beware the piano sheet music is completely random so it probably sounds horrible. I should have dra the moonlight sonata or something else, that would have been way cooler 😎 oh well, can't remember everything

I did actually start out by painting with a brush, then it used my finger but In the end realised I’m SUPPOSED to wreck this journal, and eventually just poured the remaining contence of my coffe cup on the right page 😲 And since I’ve made sure to use it as a napkin whenever I spill coffe (i did this yesterday) 😆 Then I’m going to go to random cafes and order different kinds of coffee which I will paint the different coffe cups on the left page with 😁

I made holes in my journal 😥 so i'll just call them stars ✨ I actually just sat around for awhile before I grabbed a shimmering nailpolish and put that around the edges of the holes I had made. I can do anything with this journal right?! So i'll use anything I want!! 😄

First page!! I really don’t have the heart to crack the spine the first day 😓 I LOVE BOOKS 📚 so no i can’t do it. Drawing cracks will have to do for now 😆

I got on with the journal! I skipped some pages, went ahead to “colour” the front page. And it was so much fun! I got to admit i am kind of a perfectionist 😕, so i decided to try and not care and just fill the front page with paper scraps i had laying around without caring much fòr the outcome. It turned out really nice though, I love the look 😍 Also its does feel good to just do whatever I possible can come up with to the book, it is extremely refreshing!!

My new book just arrived, the last couple of days i've just been wandering around thinking about this. I'm looking forward to starting, finally!!! 😆 I read that this is a book about creative destruction, and decided i had to have it. Especially since i (the reader) is supposed to do al kinds of weird stuff
